Here at Bunch we have officially declared May to be the month of rocking family music. To celebrate, we have rounded up five instruments your family can make from recyclables and items around the house. Assemble, and then rock out!
1. Guitar:
You’ll need:
- Rubber bands
- Empty shoebox
- Empty paper towel roll
- Scissors
- Tape
- Straw
Assembly:
If you want to make your instrument a certain color, now’s the time to paint your tissue box and towel roll. Once the paint is dry you’re ready to move on…You will need to cut slits into the end of your paper roll, about 1″ long, and bend outwards (this is how you will attach your handle). Wrap rubber bands around your tissue box, making sure that they lie over top of the opening in the box. Cut the straw to fit and slide it under your rubber bands. Secure the handle by sliding it underneath the rubber bands on the top of your box. If you find this is not secure enough, put some tape around the handle.
